Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Sunday noted the “positive momentum” in Pakistan’s recent engagements with Egypt. He was speaking to the media alongside Egyptian PM Badr Abdelatty, who arrived in Islamabad last night for a two-day official visit. During his visit, Abdelatty would discuss a wide agenda — from consultations on conflicts, including Gaza and Sudan, and the dispute over the Iranian nuclear programme, to ways of boosting economic cooperation.
Pakistan holds its relations with Egypt in very high regard and we view this visit as an important opportunity to advance our common objective,” the deputy premier highlighted. “I appreciate the positive momentum in our recent engagements at different levels, including our interactions on the margins of regional and multilateral fora around the globe,” he added.
